Chapter 56 - 54: Throwing Skill Stone

Hang Yu provided only Gray Equipment after all.The price Old Bear offered was definitely not low.

But Old Bear was very confident about this batch of equipment.

Once these few pieces of high-quality equipment are put out, given the equipment’s quality and rarity, combined with the current explosive demand in the Spirit Realm’s assets, it will inevitably trigger competition among several big shots, and the price is bound to skyrocket.

After all, for the truly wealthy big shots in Shanghai, spending an extra million or two on each piece of equipment is nothing. But for Old Bear, even getting a little bit of benefit from the big shots is enough to generate huge profits.

This process is also bound to receive more attention.

It’s important for building a solid foundation of relationships.

Old Bear did not try to use his persuasion tricks on the young guy in front of him. On one hand, this young guy was quite rational and hard to fool. On the other hand, Old Bear didn’t want to make the foolish mistake of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

He figured it out.

This young guy might be the most deeply hidden and powerful great god in this camp. To make a fortune in the future, Old Bear would have to rely on him, only looking to please, not offend.

"Pleased to work together!"

Old Bear completed the transaction via bank transfer through the Spirit Realm phone, his face beaming as he shook hands with Hang Yu, saying once again, "In the future, if you have good stuff, be sure to come to me."

Hang Yu was noncommittal.

At this moment, the camp was in a buzz; a group of people had returned.

They came from the direction of the Goblin Burial Ground, judging by their equipment; they were stronger than the average level, and familiar faces Zhao Ming, Jiang Nan, and Zhang Xiaoqiang were among them, walking at the front.

The three also noticed Hang Yu.

They immediately came over to greet him.

Jiang Nan joyfully called out, "Hey, great god, you finally came back!"

Hang Yu nodded, his eyes scanning over the group, "It seems you’ve gained a lot, and your strength has improved greatly."

"I’ve already reached level 3!"

Zhang Xiaoqiang couldn’t wait to show off; he was the first to reach level 3, possibly the only one in the camp besides Hang Yu who was at level 3.

Old Zhao and Jiang Nan were still in the level 2 state.

But they were just a short step away from level 3.

Old Zhao was only ten points of Spiritual Qi short; once he went back and consumed some high-quality Spirit Realm food, he would be able to level up. Jiang Nan was still more than thirty points of Spiritual Qi away, but it was certain that on his next visit to the Spirit Realm, he would level up. They were ahead of countless others.

But of course.

They couldn’t compare with Hang Yu.

Even if they were both at level 3.

Hang Yu had accumulated more than two hundred points of Spiritual Qi, while the total required for upgrading from level 2 to level 3 was only one hundred fifty points of Spiritual Qi. Now he was only a few dozen points away from level 4.

After all, although the Burial Ground monsters were dense, most of them were ordinary monsters.

Hang Yu noticed that besides familiar faces Jiang Nan and Zhang Xiaoqiang, Zhao Ming also had with him several unfamiliar faces, and these individuals all seemed strong, likely skilled and advanced to level 2.

Zhao Ming ordered, "Pan, let the onlookers nearby disperse."

A burly, shrewd-looking man with a flat-top haircut and a military demeanor immediately led a few people to start dispersing the crowd nearby.

Old Zhao is really something!

He’s truly a leader with entrepreneurial spirit.

These people aren’t weak, but they all look up to Zhao Ming.

"Hang Yu, it’s good that you’re back. We came across a good item especially left for you," Old Zhao said, waving away the onlookers and approaching mysteriously, "I think you might be interested."

What is it?

Zhao Ming sent the information about the item over.

Hang Yu’s eyes lit up; it was actually a Skill Stone.

[Combat Professional Skill Stone: Throwing], White Upper Grade Quality, Scout Inheritance Shard, Learning Condition: None.

"Today, the Burial Ground spawned another batch of Corpse Thieves!" Zhang Xiaoqiang explained, "The boss had Pan and the others form a team, and we wiped out the spawned Corpse Thieves, haha... No Stealth Skill dropped, but instead, this skill appeared!"

Hang Yu was quite surprised.

But he was more surprised that this Skill Stone was a Combat Profession skill.

Zhao Ming himself was a Combat Profession; why didn’t he keep it for himself, but rather sell it to Hang Yu?

"My style is clearly not suited for this skill, and since you’ve already mastered one of the Scout skills, you might need it more than I do."

Old Zhao held a weapon in one hand and a shield in the other.

When fighting, he charged at the forefront and never really had the chance to throw a Flying Knife.

Despite the Throwing Skill’s lower value compared to Stealth Skill, it’s highly practical and significantly boosts combat capability.

Moreover, the Flying Knife skill is especially valuable for Hang Yu.

On one side, there are three fragmentary skills in the Scout’s inheritance manual, and Hang Yu has already mastered Stealth, so if he learns Throwing as well, all he needs is to acquire Eagle Eye in the future, and he can piece together the complete inheritance.

More importantly.

Hang Yu didn’t truly possess an attack skill.

Therefore, for him, learning Throwing is crucial to filling that gap.

Hang Yu indeed needed it greatly, so he straightforwardly asked: "What does Uncle Zhao want for it?"

Zhao Ming responded cheerfully, "We’re comrades who’ve fought side by side; since we’re so familiar with each other, there’s no need to beat around the bush. Just bring out something of similar value."

Something of similar value?

Hang Yu had an extra Tree Spirit Guard Set.

But exchanging it might be a loss for him.

Besides the set, what’s the most valuable thing he currently had? Certainly, the Air Arrow Skill Stone.

In terms of value, the Air Arrow Skill Stone and Flying Knife are quite comparable.

The issue is, the Air Arrow is a Magic Profession skill, would Zhao Ming accept it?

Moreover, the inheritance series starting with Meteorology Apprentice is definitely not as good as the inheritance series starting with the Scout, so technically, the value of Air Arrow is slightly inferior to Flying Knife.

Hang Yu made a decision.

He took out, in sequence, the Air Arrow Skill Stone, the level 3 Bright Gray Weapon "Dizzying Giant Wooden Hammer," and the "Leaf of Recovery." Together, they were enough to make up for the value difference.

However, the Air Arrow was useless to Old Zhao, even less so than the Throwing Skill.

Would Old Zhao agree to the exchange?

"Deal!"

Hang Yu had initially intended to gauge Zhao Ming’s response, but Zhao Ming agreed without hesitation, which was delightfully surprising!

Zhao Ming could keep the Giant Wooden Hammer for himself.

This weapon could perfectly pair with Zhao Ming’s shield.

The Leaf of Recovery was of no value to Hang Yu, who was about to start Medicine Refining.

But it was a decent support item for Old Zhao; as for the Air Arrow Skill Stone? Zhao Ming directly decided to give it to Zhang Xiaoqiang!

Zhang Xiaoqiang was flattered: "Ah, boss, this is too valuable!"

"No matter how valuable a stone is, it’s just a stone. Skills only hold value when put to use," Zhao Ming said indifferently, "Take it first, think of it as an advance from the company, and pay it back slowly."

"Yes, yes!"

Zhang Xiaoqiang’s face lit up with excitement.

Currently, he had three White Equipment pieces that increase Magic Attack or Intelligence, and even his weapon was a White Quality Magic Staff. With Air Arrow in Zhang Xiaoqiang’s hands, the damage is definitely formidable.

This skill has a very short cooldown time.

It significantly boosts Zhang Xiaoqiang’s output capability.

After completing the transaction, Zhao Ming said to Hang Yu, "Actually, I have a favor to ask of you."

Hang Yu realized Old Zhao is truly meticulous, and in this situation, for Zhao to suddenly ask for help, it was hard for him to refuse.

"What is it?"

"I’m planning to try obtaining one or two Skill Stones in the real world, but I’m not sure which Skill Stone suits me, so I hope to get some useful advice from you."

So that’s how it is.

Old Zhao had already realized the importance of skills.

Thus, he wanted to spend a fortune on one or two Skill Stones for himself.

But Zhao Ming also found out that Skill Stones and their inheritances vary greatly.

He’s uncertain about which kind of inheritance would be suitable for him, so he specifically came to Hang Yu for guidance; after all, acquiring even one Skill Stone wasn’t a small expense for Old Zhao!

Asking Hang Yu for advice was the wise choice!

Actually, as clever as Old Zhao is, how could he not see?

Hang Yu must have some kind of innate skill that provides experience or knowledge.
